Grocery Wine

The question is put before us again, as if it should even be a question at all. Do we want to allow wine sales in our grocery stores? Hell yes we do, and on Sundays too. Throw in the booze while you’re at it why don’t ya! Ok maybe not, but with genuine apologies to the liquor & wine store owners who will be affected if wine sales are permitted at the grocery, I believe we’re ready to move ahead. Let’s take a look at what we can look forward to if we get Grocery Wine:

Pros
  • 2/3 shopping will be convenient. Beer, check. Wine, check. Booze? Sorry booze.
  • Bulk pricing, right? Gimme a Two Buck Chuck! Charles Shaw y’all!
  • They really better not fuck up the Sunday situation

Cons

  • Diminished craft of the liquor & wine store
  • More religious scows than you’re used to
  • Cleanup on aisle 12, drunkard alert!
I’ve included a simple poll in the upper right section of the page. Let’s see if anyone reading DK is prudish enough to click “no”.

  4. A rich, full-bodied wine sensibly priced at only a dollar a jug. And now for a bit of magic, I will make this jug disappear.

  5. Grocery wine, yes.

    Grocery slivovitz or absinthe, not so much.

  6. BS: "That's some good looking wine you've got there. What variety is that?"

    Bum: "Tequila"

  7. I see someone clicked "No" on the survey. 1 in 5 that voted are very uncool.
